An easy fish taco slaw recipe that you can add to tacos made from different types of fish. The fish taco is a term used for fish (or shrimp or other seafood) wrapped in a corn or wheat tortilla.

It may be fried, grilled, blackened, or seared. Fish tacos are often served with tomatillo salsa, pico de gallo, cabbage slaw, and lime juice. They are sometimes eaten with condiments such as sour cream and salsa.

Fish tacos are very popular all over the United States. The fish taco is often served as a light dinner or an appetizer for people watching their diets because they are usually smaller than other kinds of tacos.
